Posts: 322Wow top build mate!! I understand getting rid of the fr’s but noticed you are thinking of going gold rims. Gold goes quite well with blue. Have gold fr’s om my blue vs ute. Makes the colour pop so much better than silver. End of the day if you dont like them gold can always change the colour.
munch munch ls1s for lunch

August 19, 2015 at 8:46 pm #8545small updates nothing major booked in for a tune now just tidying a few things up that have been getting to me because i had to have the charcoal canister in the boot i wanted to hide it its pretty ugly think i did a good job also the autometer temp sender on the engine was a bit of an eye catcher so raided my scrap pile small amount of stainless problem solved
also decided to make up a pcv catch can air oil separator its made out of just scrap aluminium came up pretty good
boot before
boot after

Mate just do it its all i have to say i love my 308s and rbs but now this has had a proper tune its just so good to drive if im under 3k rpm its so smooth i could drive it daily no issues but over 3k it turns into a tyre shredder
October 6, 2015 at 9:59 am #9885So updates well went in for its final tune made a decent 348rwkw peak but because its a fresh engine we backed the timing off a touch and its running a very safe 330rwkw atm till ive run it in properly got photographed for sc the other day the photographer couldnt believe the detail and said hed try and convince the editor for a cover im so stoked haha other than that shes got just over 1000 kms on her now ill put some updated pics up soon
